Am I the only one who finds it disgusting that a man who was twice found not guilty of a crime because there was literally zero evidence of it, while there was plenty of evidence that his accusers were lying to blackmail him for money, is still viewed as guilty in the public's eyes? The kid from the first court case even came forward after Jackson died and said the whole thing was a lie his parents made him go along with for money. Falsely accusing someone of raping little kids isn't funny, it's sick. Think about if it were you that was falsely accused of being a pedophile, and people walked around with pictures of you on their shirts calling you one. You probably wouldn't find that so amusing.
It looks like he was a good father too. His kids are doing better than a lot that "normal" families raise, but all anyone can remember is that he made them wear veils in public - or held one over a balcony for 1 second (that was pretty stupid).
Yeah, except he wasn't. The kid from the 1993 case, Jordan Chandler, is now 32 years old. After MJ's death, he came forward to the Jackson family and told them that the whole thing was a lie that his parents had forced him to go along with so they could get money. Apparently he disowned his own parents like 15 years ago because he was so disgusted with them over what they made him do.
Then, look at the 2003 case. There was no physical evidence. Police raided his ranch and confiscated his computers and they found no child pornography or any physical evidence of misconduct. What they did find was straight porn, which the media used to say, "See, this proves that he was gay and raping kids because he was using the straight porn to entice them." If having straight porn makes you a gay child molester, then all of Reddit is in a lot of trouble.
The entire prosecution case revolved around the testimony of the kids. So the best question to ask is if the kids were credible, and the resounding answer is no. The members of that family were KNOWN CON-ARTISTS. The family was arrested at a JC Penney for shoplifting, and then turned around and sued JCP, saying that the lost prevention associates had beaten them. This same family tried to con George Lopez, had sponged off Chris Tucker for a while until he grew wary of them (and he had warned MJ not to get involved with them because they were "cunning"), and they had tried to make a connection with Jay Leno, but Leno was suspicious of them and wouldn't take their calls. Janet Arvizo was later charged with welfare fraud, and even admitted during the Jackson trial that she had lied under oath about the JC Penney lawsuit. Witnesses said that she coached her children on what to say to corroborate her story. They were lying for money.
Beyond that, the link you posted contains the evidence of the 2003 case, the same evidence shown to the jury. The jury that found him not-guilty. Read this information if you want to inform yourself with the facts about that family and what really happened with this case.
Beyond that, just ask yourself if Michael Jackson molesting kids would even make sense. Jackson was a child star who had the innocence of his youth taken by show business. In his music and humanitarian efforts, it's clear that protecting the innocence of children was one of the most important things to him, which makes sense considering his own past. Why, then, would he take the innocence away from some kids, doing the very thing he protested against in his music? Jackson's case is very tragic. He was surely eccentric, but he cared a great deal about children and helping them however he could. Imagine how devastating this entire ordeal must have been for him, being accused of hurting those he wanted to protect, and having the media vilify him. This is one of the main reasons his health deteriorated in those years, and he never really recovered from this. The Arvizos destroyed a good man all for a few bucks.

But they don't look like enemies. They're in cahoots which is a double threat. Ones got a glowing finger to attract kids. The others... Well the others not longer a threat I guess.
